THE COLD DAD
GRASIS

At the same time, in the world several days have passed. Time in the sky palace.. Just three minutes walk. The time difference was very far away, where in the Realm of the Gods, time was running very slowly. Time in the world is very fast.

Inside the Palace, Rabarus felt burdened.. Finally expressed what was on his mind, with so much confidence. However, after speaking, he regretted his words.

"Paduka sta.. I am very grateful to have been entrusted with receiving this very special gift. But.. Does the servant deserve it?! whereas what the servant did, was not comparable, to this gift that Your Majesty gave!!" rabarus felt ashamed, to himself. Because he considered a fight with a God, a few years ago.. It was just luck, to him.

While the Majesty who was still sitting was silent on his throne, just ringing to hear the answer of Rabarus, which he thought was very innocent and innocent. Seeing the reaction of the Majesty, the three of them were astonished! however, none of them, who dared to speak first, remained silent, waiting for the answer to come out of His Majesty's mouth.

Lord Zando, who noticed the expressions of the three subordinates! Seemed just staring with a flat and cold expression. Silent no answer, the atmosphere in the room felt gripping instantly, because to his silence.all that was heard was the tap of a finger from the arm of the golden chair, his. And, a few moments later... His Majesty's voice reverberated in the room. But what does your next Majesty say..! it really made the others dumbfounded in disbelief. Until their expressions changed drastically, after realizing what had just crossed their minds earlier.

"Sir... Tuk... Tuk... hem.., do you know..!! The robe, it means nothing to me. I can even make as many numbers as I want, if I want to." she said, propped up, on her large, veined fist.

He raised one of his eyebrows, then stared lazily at the Guard, Jura, and Rabarus. The three of them looked extremely shocked, after hearing the reply from God Zando. Especially Guard! He did not expect, if something that he considered very extraordinary, turned out to be nothing to the God Himself. As for Jura, he seemed to be sweating coldly, and was struggling on his own thoughts.

'What...! so that thing we've always considered to be something very rare, and extraordinary! turns out there is nothing for your Majesty!!?

Haaah.. I was ashamed of myself, with what I had just thought, I could have been as narrow-minded as a child. Who believe it for granted, on the superstitious tales of the Elders. And consider that Cloak too special! To consider it equal to God.

In front of your own Majesty, that robe! it turned out to be nothing. Then, where did the ancestors and elders, get to know, and get the news? So that they can believe that crazy myth, just like that. Could it be.., if what I am thinking right now, right! meaning.., if Your Majesty wishes, Your Majesty can even make the strongest army as much as Your Majesty wants. just by using the Cloak alone, as a Armor.' thought Jura was digesting back what he had just heard.

On the other hand, the Guard immediately bowed in shame and regret, while cursing himself. Because he thought the Cloak, so precious, so his little heart refused if the Cloak, he said, until it was given away at the hands of Rabarus.

'Oh, what did I just think..? Basic Guards fool, you are really evil once.I am so sure, and confidently reject reality.which turns out, there is nothing in the eyes of Your Majesty.. Guards.You're a complete idiot and a shame.' The Guard cursed himself.

Not just the Guard, and Jura. So did Rabarus, who could only scratch his cheek while enduring a great embarrassment, because he had thought and felt proud, because he was privileged, after receiving the gift, something that he thought was extraordinary, it was meaningless in the eyes of the God Himself. His pride, instantly shattered was unceasingly swallowed by a shameful misunderstanding.

'Ah, shit.I became ashamed of myself with my mind.I could-can say as if this is my best moment.haha, until no one can see me.

I really don't have any face left, to deal with Your Majesty.' he said then looked towards the Second Man who was currently, also looking towards him. 'Damn it, Mana now they both also look at me again.' he said, immediately turning his face away from embarrassment.as well as the two who immediately threw their eyes away from Rabarus. 'Ah... Shit, Rabarus...Rabat... Why are you so careless..! it feels like I want to run away now.' murmured Rabarus swearing to himself, because of the extreme shame.

And Before long, the embarrassing atmosphere was made to be broken by the laughter of His Majesty, who suddenly. So that the entire room was only filled with the laughter of Lord Zando.

"Haha... Heeh. You guys have really comforted me, boy. I didn't expect it! you take this matter too seriously. hahahaha.." he said laughing loosely, listening to the stupidity of the three subordinates.who can now only be subdued quietly and helplessly, he said, the embarrassed expressions on their faces became more and more obvious, with various reactions and thoughts of each.. Lord Zando is back in serious mode.

"I know if you consider this thing to be very sacred, even until the rumors have been widely circulated among the Spirit Realm" he caught a glimpse, with a look of disdain for the Cloak. Lord Zando now looked back at the three, who were just bowed stiffly.

"Alright, forget about this matter, since you two have also been here too long. Now it's time for you to return to my Empress. Your current existence, urgently needed by the child, go.' he ordered with a faint smile.

Hearing the reply from His Majesty, in a short time, the facial ripples of the two who initially seemed to be uninspired! it instantly turned bright again. Both of them were treated very quickly and straightforwardly. Jura, and the Guard, also immediately raised their respect, muttering simultaneously.

''Then, we both let ourselves step down first, Your Majesty.'' said the two quickly.

''Hem.'' God Zando replied briefly, looking a thin grin perched on the surface of his extremely handsome face second to none. After taking off the two Spirits! the gaze of God Zando, again fell on the Guard, who was now silent and cool with his own thoughts.

"And you're the Guard...!" his words shocked the Guard, and became nervous instantly.

"Y-yes, Majesty!" he said wrong way. 'Oh, no! Will you scold me this time? Because I have been thinking narrowly!!' he thought in between his nervousness.

Guard, did not dare to raise his face in the slightest to stare at the face of His Majesty. Seeing the reaction of the Guard, Lord Zando took a slow breath. "Heah.. And you Guard, after seeing you contemplate your wrongdoings, I have lifted your sentence. Go see my Empress! You must be dying to meet him, right? All this time, he was also very worried about your situation, because you have long disappeared without news."

Hearing the words of Lord Zando just now, Garda.., seemed unable to hide the pleasure. And he immediately replied quickly, just like the two Spirits who had just left.

"B-really Your Majesty! What did your Majesty just say?" he made sure to come back, to convince himself, if he didn't hear wrong.

"Must I take back my words!" said Lord Zando, with a flat expression.

'From your words, he was not joking before he changed his mind! I need to get out of here quickly, he thought. "H-he.. N-no, my lord, I-in that case.. Thank you for allowing the servant, to meet him. The servant resigned first." said the Guard quickly, and immediately disappeared. Without waiting for God Zando's answer. Seeing the behavior of the Guard, Lord Zando only smiled.

After everything was gone, Lord Zando again fell silent in silence. His little heart muttered again. 'You must be strong my Empress! it is time for you to face reality, and find out the true truth..!!'

Right now, somewhere else, Lannox was in the guest room. Standing in front of a glass window, with his hands closed, he looked out the window, the night was so dark and very quiet. The swipe sound of the tree shafts, and the flowers in the Palace courtyard, seemed to be swaying gently from the breeze.

Occasionally the wind blew in flying the plain white curtains that hit his face. In silence, a white puff of smoke appeared behind Lannox. The figure of the Black Panther, Icarus, appeared in the middle position sitting like a cat. he looked out the window where Lannox, standing at this time.

The night looked dark and starless, only the howling of wild wolves could be heard, in the depths of the forest. While in the guest room where Lannox, was at this time. It felt very quiet, until his breath was heard by Icarus. "Haw..." Sometimes the sound of his breathing is exhaled violently.

It was as if something was stirring up, in his heart and mind that were out of sync at the moment. Icarus who has entered into a contract with the owner! very understanding of the turbulent feelings in his Master.

He who was initially impatient wanted to immediately return to his daughter, with a feeling of happiness.. Suddenly halfway home, he found a surprising letter from the Emperor. As if being hit by a large stone, when he saw the contents of the letter, he was now trapped in a condition that made it a dilemma. Between believe and not! when he arrived at Kaisaran, and saw firsthand the figure who claimed to be his daughter.

The atmosphere in the room was not excited because the two of them were just silenced to enjoy the silence of the night without speaking a word. On the window glass, there was a shadow of Lannox's face, which was flat and cold, without the slightest expression.

Icarus suddenly sensed the presence of someone from a distance. Icarus narrowed his eyes, and in an instant he instantly disappeared, leaving only the white smoke that had now faded away with the air in the room. Suddenly, there was a knock from outside the door. A soft voice called out to him with a familiar greeting.

''Tok.. Geck.. Geck.. Father..., this is me Grasia. May I enter for a moment!!'' Grasia waited for a while before she got an answer, as there was no answer at all, she hesitated to go inside, and decided to return to her room. And a moment later, the Duke's voice came from behind the door, which stopped his steps.

Hearing that, Grasia smiled. Lannox replied and immediately turned her body, looking at the face of the door that was still tightly closed.

''Yes, come in.'' he said then immediately stepped foot slowly, heading towards the maroon red velvet sofa. with a golden frame, which made it look luxurious. Lannox sat down and folded his legs, wearing a thin white shirt, with a few buttons slightly open at the top, so that both sides of his chest muscles were slightly lurking out.

On the two doors that were still closed, now one of the doors was opened small, looking the figure of a long silver-haired girl on her back, like Lannox's. With her eyes all red, she entered slowly with a gentle smiling face. Grasia stepped closer, and stood in front of the Sofa where Lannox was sitting at the moment, and did not forget to give a respectful greeting before she started the conversation.

Lannox noticed the figure of the little girl who was slightly taller than Ravella. while holding both of her hands, She looked innocent and innocent. He spoke to the girl who claimed to be his daughter.

''Why are you just standing there, sit down.'' his orders were flat.Hearing the command, Grasia immediately sat down, on the sofa that was across the table.he was with her innocent face, she said, looks down embarrassed and awkward when faced with the figure of the Duke. Not only Duke, in Grasia's heart, he was also observing the figure of Duke who looked cold and arrogant.

'When I entered this room, he was sitting with his legs folded.one arm was on the arm of the sofa, while the other hand, he was holding a crystal glass containing black wine, he looked at me warmly. That handsome and cold face, now looking intently at me. I was silent for a moment, and soon he let out his voice..'

''Are you seeing me these nights? can't you sleep??'' her tanyanya looked towards Grasia, who was initially smiling.now her expression immediately turned mellow when asked by Duke.the girl after Ravella, who was the only one after her, but he was a little taller than Ravella who looked a little smaller than him.

Grasia, who was currently wearing a long plain white sleeping dress, was trembling while clasping her hands tightly. it was as if fearing his words would anger the Duke. ''A-dad.., a-what A-dad sure, regarding my status!! Shouldn't Dad tell Brother first, so that he doesn't get shocked and misunderstand me..!! he sounded hesitant and afraid.

Heard the answer of Grasia.. The duke sat silently pondering for a moment.he lowered his folded legs, and placed the crystal glass he had in his hand on the table. After that he looked at me coldly, suddenly his thin reddish lips, now ringing and muttering to me.'

''If that's what you're thinking, you don't have to worry, I don't need anyone's permission to bring my daughter home, don't you.'' she sounded a little arrogant, as if she was asserting her position.

Hearing Lannox's words, Grasia looked relieved, and she returned with her innocent smile. ''B-well if it is like that, s-I just want to make sure. I can't wait to see Brother soon!! Hm.. Hmm.." she said with a bright smile without sin. ''Thank you Dad, I became relieved after hearing Dad say.then I will go back to my room.Good night Dad.'' he said then got up, and saluted.. then walk out of the room.

''Hem..'' Lannox answered briefly, looking at her small back that had now disappeared in the face of the door.

As he was sitting contemplating on the sofa, suddenly Icarus' figure reappeared, and this time he sat on the sofa where Grasia was sitting earlier. Icarus muttered through his mind, bringing up what he was thinking right now, to confirm to his Master's series!

'Son, are you really sure, by your decision?!!' he stared intently at the Master. There was no answer, Lannox seemed unmoved, as if he was pondering about what he had just said to Grasia. After a long silence, now he is back to sound.

'Of course I'm serious, with my words.' he rang mysteriously.

Seeing that, one of Icarus' eyebrows shot up. 'Hem... What exactly are you planning, boy? Even so, the child's words had a point. You better tell your daughter before you bring the other Princess back home. Because he would be surprised, and might be shaken because of you. How not, Father who had not come home for a long time without giving news, suddenly, came immediately to bring a foreign princess home. Didn't you think about how your daughter felt then, after seeing her later!!' he warned his Master, even though he had never seen the figure of his Master Princess.

But nevertheless.. Remembering and hearing his Master's story along the way, he always told me about his daughter.How dear and proud he was to have a beautiful Princess by his side.from there it was clear, it was obvious, if the Master loved his daughter very much.

Lannox who heard his Spirit's words only smiled ignoring his words. And the murmuring that made Icarus' forehead shrivel was upset, when he heard the Master's words! 'Hm.. Hm.. Tumben once today you talk a lot Icarus!! not as usual who is always quiet.' he said, while paying attention to Icarus' reaction.

'Haah.. I don't know, it's up to you. I have clearly warned you, your actions like this.. Just like a selfish old man, without thinking about the feelings of his daughter, who has always been by your side.' he looks upset, then just disappears. He became lazy to serve the attitude of his current Master, who seemed not to care at all, with the problem.

After Icarus' departure, Lannox was alone. The room went back to being lifeless. Lannox sat down to relax her entire body. He changed his sitting position to lie down. He put his arm over his forehead, looking up at the ceiling of the room.

"Haah.." a sigh. 'Arabella, what should I do?' he also thought he was confused. It's just that he did not want to show his weakness, in front of Icarus. Although Icarus already knew.and his gaze immediately darkened, and he fell into a deep sleep because he was too tired to think.
